The Olympic Village’s chocolate muffin has become a viral favorite among athletes. Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen recently posted a video that went viral on TikTok where he rated the muffin an 11/10. His review sparked a trend of fellow Olympians sharing their own impressions and expressing admiration for the muffin. The French catering company whose providing these infamous treats, Coup de Pates, is thrilled with the attention but, naturally, they are keeping the recipe a closely guarded secret. This viral moment is certainly amusing to many, though especially in light of other videos where athletes have voiced their dissatisfaction with some of the other food options available to them.
